If you’re a Subscriber Manager/Administrator at a legal/conveyancing firm and have been informed of the need to renew Digital Certificates within your organisation, please access the online renewal form via the link below (we recommend you use Google Chrome for optimum performance):

Log in to plus.pexa.com.au to renew Digital Certificates

  • When selecting a link for the first time, it may be blocked in your address bar.
  • In the address bar, click "Pop-up blocked."
  • Select "Always allow pop-ups from [site]"
  • Click "Done."

The online renewal form is housed within our new PEXAplus portal. PEXAplus is a new gateway to transacting property online and the beginning of a journey to provide you with a more engaging PEXA experience.

 

FAQs

Here are answers to your most frequently asked questions about Digital Certificate renewals. Can't find what you're looking for? Leave a comment and we'll get back to you.

 

How do I renew an expiring Digital Certificate?

Only Subscriber Managers/Administrators with an active Digital Certificate can renew Digital Certificates. Subscriber Managers/Administrators should access PEXAplus to view and action any upcoming expiries. We recommend you use Google Chrome for optimum performance. On submitting the renewal form, the Subscriber Manager/Administrator will be prompted to sign using their Digital Certificate. If you are not a Subscriber Manager/Administrator and have been informed that your Digital Certificate is expiring, you should get in touch with your Subscriber Manager/Administrator to submit a renewal form on your behalf.

 

Does it cost to renew a Digital Certificate?

Digital Certificate renewals will incur a renewal fee. Fees associated with the renewal of Digital Certificates will be direct debited from your nominated fee paying account. Details of the renewal fees can be found in the Digital Signing Certificate Pricing Guide. 

 

How do I find out who my Subscriber Manager/Administrator is?

If you are unsure who the Subscriber Manager/Administrator is for your organisation (some organisations have more than one) and you are unable to find out via your colleagues, please contact our Support Centre on 1300 084 515.

Why can’t I see any Digital Certificates that require renewal WITHIN PEXAPLUS?

All Subscriber Managers/Administrators within an organisation are notified of the need to action upcoming renewals. If you log on to PEXAplus and no renewals are displayed, it is likely that another Subscriber Manager/Administrator within your organisation has already actioned the renewals.

How do I change the name or email for a Digital Certificate renewal?

Changes to the name and/or email address of a Digital Certificate holder are not currently supported by the online renewal process. If a Digital Certificate holder’s name and/or email address has changed, please contact your PEXA Direct Specialist who will arrange an appointment with the authorised signatories to execute a paper form. If you do not have a PEXA Direct Specialist, please contact our Support team on 1300 084 515.

Note: if a user’s email address has changed, they will need to create a new corresponding user account in PEXA so their PEXA login email matches the email address associated with their new Digital Certificate.

How do I begin signing with my new Digital Certificate?

Hard tokens

These Digital Certificates are stored on a USB token. To sign in a PEXA workspace, you simply need to insert the USB into your computer and enter your unique PIN when prompted. You’ll receive a separate letter containing your Digital Certificate PIN. For instructions on how to change your PIN, visit the e-Conveyancing Community at pexa.com.au/digicertpin

Soft tokens

These Digital Certificates are installed and stored on the Certificate holder’s machine. To sign in a PEXA workspace, PEXA will automatically locate the Soft Certificate on the user’s machine and prompt them to enter their unique PIN when signing. If you use a soft token, you’ll receive a CD that contains the User’s Soft Digital Certificate which needs to be inserted into a CD drive to run the Certificate installation process. A separate letter containing your Digital Certificate PIN will be received a day or so later. For instructions on how to change your PIN, visit the e-Conveyancing Community at pexa.com.au/digicertpin

Do I need to install software for my new Digital Certificate?

If you have already installed the software required to use a Digital Certificate on your current device, no further set up is needed. You will only need to install software if you would like to sign with your Digital Certificate on a new device. Installation instructions can be found at pexa.com.au/digicert

What should I do with my old Digital Certificate?

Your old Digital Certificate will remain valid up until the day of its expiry. Until this date, both your old and new Digital Certificates will be valid. It is your responsibility to destroy the chip within the USB shell of your old Digital Certificate. You should only do this once you have tested that your new Digital Certificate works.

How do I find out the expiry date of my old Digital Certificate?

If you are unsure of the date, contact our Support Centre on 1300 084 515.

How do I destroy my old Digital Certificate?

 1. Open the USB shell to a 90° angle and push the small white lever on the reverse side to release the chip1. Open the USB shell to a 90° angle and push the small white lever on the reverse side to release the chip
